Awesome .

Sco77ie, never actually made it to Boardmasters, any idea how quick they sell out? (probably just get a day ticket)....just funds are pretty low with glasto balance getting paid off.

[5co77ie]

I'm not sure it sold out last year - there were still tickets in May, but this will be a big act for the party scene of Cornwall and so I suspect it could sell out depending on who else gets announced. someone like Reef added would be a big draw down around Fistral beach.

Cheers, will probably risk putting it off a month. If I can still get a ticket though, then definitely there.

Not seen Reef in years; Pavillions gig around 96-97 I think. Feeder and "A" supporting.

ive been (2008). it was the inspiration for our cornwall holiday (gig, camping, eden project, beach, beer, rick stein's - the holiday had it all )

it was pretty easy to get tickets as i recall, but we only got tickets for the friday (absolutely blinding days line uo for me. The Zutons, Audio Bullys, Morcheeba, Natty, Sam Issac finished off with GA) revelling with surfers and hippies in the sunshine

top, top gig!!

Could still get tickets on the day this year if I remember right.

Great little festival and they seem to do well with the acts booked. The weather this year was really great as well which made it even better.

Loved the gig last year.

They sold out of the full package last year (entry to all bar sessions, boardmasters after party on the sunday and a weekend music ticket)

but you really didnt need that.

I'm not much for 'Leftfield' but me and my mates are down in Newquay on this week for the surfing comps anyway, might give the music a miss unless someone decent gets added to the second day.

when you buy the all in one ticket it says camping is not included, any idea how much just cmaping will cost with the all in one charger ticket?

sounds like a great time to be had!

[MrMac]

We're considering Boardmasters for this year - any useful info gratefully recieved.

OK, this is a thinly vieled "can I take my own beer" post.

Considering getting a charger ticket but jsut need to find some accomodation,

can anyone recommend somewhere to stay self catering?....i'd prefer not to camp will be easier to cook etc plus a bed haha although i do love camping

Depends - do you want to walk to the event or take transport each day?

probably walk if we could would be easier for drinking then haha

i take you have been then?

is the charger ticket worth it because someone above said it wasnt needed what doyou think?

Thanks

We went last year, great little festival this, took the missus for her birthday as she really wanted to watch Cypress Hill.

We camped in the smugglers campsite which is literally a five minute walk to the festival site, its not just camping here they have caravan/chalet thingys if you want a bed and somewhere to do some cooking.

That's where i was going to suggest.

[binkibonko]

thanks guys, may not actually be going now as I car share and cant get hold of the car for the whole time so may not be able to get there....depends on transport prices..


also spending a lot of money on festivals if i got to boardmasters as I'm doing sunday at reading and whole weekend at V

So we're going to the Friday this year but never been before. Any advice?

We're staying in Newquay- we were told they do a shuttle bus to Watergate, anyone know if it runs til late and if it is payable?

Also, what sort of time do the acts start and finish, the website says 11 am - 12.45 but wasn't sure if the bands would finish earlier and the site just stays open

The doors open extremely early, and people tend to sit around watching the bands til around 5pm, as most of them are fairly acoustic. I imagine on this year's friday , Tinie Tempah will be the act to get everyone on their feet. The main stagelast year ended at about 11, as the headliners come on stage around 9:30. However, on the other two main stages, bands come on stage at around 1045 -11 pm, and don't finish til about midnight.

The shuttle bus to and from town and the site is very regular, and best of all, FREE

Thanks for that, that's really helpful. We'll probably head along mid afternoon, getting old and can't hack late nights so it's nice to see the main stage should finish at a sensible time! Not familiar with many of the acts on the other stages that I've seen but it'll be a good day I think!

Any idea how hot they are on bag searches? I tend to take own vodka discretely hidden of course.

There were bag searches from what I remember yes, but I didn't have one, so I can't say how stringent they were unfortunately

No worries, will use my usual techniques then!
